...what a coincidence, that as i look for a way again to continue with this project, that i am asking the same question i asked almost exactly 3 years ago when i started this blog. a different cloth, but the same journey. so where am i? coma is a longish cloth. it has been edged and it now measures 46" x 70" with a small triangular protrusion outside the frame when i was thinking that it needed to be square. but i like the shape. it is a nice bed runner and easy to wrap around my shoulders as a sort of cocoon. i also like it because it emphasizes the shift in direction that the color blocking created. instead of just a spin it also has an implied wobble. something imbalanced. something that might fling itself off the edge and out of sight in a moment. without notice.
and in its calmer moments it is longer and narrow like a pathway.
each corner has a different color scheme, meant to symbolize some seasonal order amidst chaos. after a walk outside yesterday i noticed a fern that had been totally bleached by the coming cold. still intact but colorless. and the colorless corner of coma fits so well with the idea of a cycle of drain and renewal. time as a coloring book.
...i liked this picture of coma on the rail of the deck that was also undone when coma began. (a link to that thought, in case you don't remember)
so here i am, looking forward to where i will go tomorrow.
